Ruriko-ji Five Story Pagoda
Most impressive 5-story pagoda I’ve ever seen in Japan! Photos don’t do justice to the beauty of this structure.

Seki is a historic town in southern Gifu Prefecture that is famous around the world for its production of high-quality knives and blades. The small town in the middle of Japan was a center of sword making during the Muromachi era (1338-1573), with over 300 swordsmiths working in Seki, producing legendary swords, and earning the town the cool nickname, “The City of Blades.”

Remembering the March 11, 2011, Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami today. I had the chance in the summer of 2017 to visit one of the towns that was almost completely wiped out by the disaster. I enjoyed speaking to the locals and seeing firsthand the recovery process. The small fishing town of Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture is a shining light of the strong will and never give up attitude of the Japanese people.

March 3 is Hina Matsuri in Japan. This traditional Japanese event is also known as the Doll’s Festival or Girl’s Day and is celebrated across the country. Beautiful “hina” dolls are displayed on red carpet platforms in homes of families with daughters to pray for their health, future, growth, and prosperity. Here is an interesting set I found recently in Gujo Hachiman.

Checked out some samurai sword museums in Seki this morning to do a bit of research for my next article. Seki in southern Gifu Prefecture is known as the “City of Blades” and was a center for sword making during the Muromachi era (1338-1573).

Sunomata Castle is a legendary Japanese castle located near Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture. It is a little hard to get to but is certainly worth a visit with a great story and fascinating history behind its construction.

One of the first things that you see upon arrival at Magome-juku in Gifu Prefecture is this old water wheel. This well-preserved Edo period (1603-1868) post town is like taking a step back in time.

Kagami Mochi is another traditional Japanese New Year’s decoration. It consists of two round mochi topped with a daidai (bitter orange). The two mochi represent the past year and the year ahead with the daidai, which means “generations” in Japanese representing the continuation of a family from one generation to the next. This is my Kagami Mochi from 2021.

Shimekazari is a traditional Japanese New Year’s decoration usually hung on the front door to keep bad spirits away as well as inviting the toshigami or Shinto deity to visit. They are made out of sacred Shinto rice straw rope, pine twigs and carefully crafted zigzag-shaped paper strips called shide. This is my shimekazari to welcome in 2022.
